Outside diameter shall match the outside diameter of RCP wall B joints. Joint coupling bands shall be of the same material as the pipe and shall, when fastened in place, provide the joint with the same or greater structural properties as the remainder of the pipe. Joint coupling bands shall prevent infiltration of soil. End sections shall be RCP flared end sections, meeting the requirements listed in this Section for RCP fittings. 2.02 POLYETHYLENE (PE) UNDERDRAIN: Corrugated PE tubing for underdrains shall conform to KDOT Standard Specifications Subsection 1908. 2.03 FILTER FABRIC: Filter fabric for underdrains shall be a geotextile meeting the requirements of KDOT Standard Specifications Subsection 1710. Property Limit Method Tensile Strength 150 lbs. ASTM D4632 Puncture Strength 80 lbs. ASTM D4833 Trapezoid Tear 100 to 40 ASTM D4571 2.04 BEDDING: KDOT Standard Specifications Section 1100, CA-5, Coarse Aggregate for Concrete, washed stone or gravel, meeting the following gradation: Sieve Size 1-inch 3/4-inch 3/8-inch No. 8 Percent Retained 0 0-5 40-60 95-100 2.05 SELECT BACKFILL: Site excavated or imported noncohesive material free of clay lumps, rocks larger than 3 inches, organics, trash, or frozen material. 2.06 ENCASEMENT MATERIAL: As referenced in Part 1. 2.07 TEMPORARY PLUGS: Temporary plugs shall be a model recommended by pipe manufacturer; watertight to a static head of 25 feet. 2.08 PIPE MATERIAL FOR SPOT REPAIR: Sewer pipe that is deteriorated or damaged shall be replaced with the same material as existing, except clay pipe, which may be replaced with PVC (SDR 26) using an approved flexible connector made specifically for connecting these materials. Grouted inserts of any kind will not be allowed. Connection shall be made at existing bells or joints. Technical Provisions 5200-02
PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.01 TRENCHING: See reference in Part 1 for trench excavation, protection, dewatering, and general backfill. Trench width, measured at 1 foot above the exterior top of pipe, shall be at least 15 inches greater but not more than 24 inches greater than the exterior width of the pipe. Excessive width trenches shall be corrected by use of bedding material throughout the initial backfill zone. 3.02 PIPE LAYING: Installation of pipe shall proceed from the downstream end of the project with bell ends facing upstream. Alignment and grade shall be uniform between manholes, and a positive system of grade control shall be used for maintaining alignment. Due to difficulty of compacting beneath wide pipes, loose bedding material shall be shaped to receive the full length of the pipe except where required to mate joints. The ends of the installed pipe shall be plugged whenever the work is not in progress. Joint installation shall follow the manufacturer's recommendation. 3.03 INITIAL BACKFILL: Select backfill shall be placed from the upper limit of the bedding to a level 12 inches above the exterior top of pipe. Limestone bedding material shall not be used with ductileiron pipe. Material shall be placed uniformly on both sides of the pipe and compacted with hand operated equipment to 95 percent of standard density as determined by ASTM D698. 3.04 BEDDING: Unless otherwise specified, granular bedding material shall be placed uniformly on both sides of the pipe to the limits given below and compacted to 95 percent of standard density as determined by ATSM D698. Depth of granular bedding material below the exterior bottom of pipe shall meet the following minimums: Pipe Diameter In soil In rock 24 inches and less 4 inches 6 inches 27 inches to 60 inches 4 inches 9 inches 66 inches and greater 6 inches 12 inches The top limit of granular bedding material shall be springline (the widest part) of the pipe. 3.05 UNDERDRAIN INSTALLATION: Underdrain shall have minimum grade of 1 percent unless shown otherwise on the drawings. Upstream ends of underdrain shall be capped. Junctions shall be made with manufactured wyes and tees. Granular bedding material shall extend from a minimum of 4 inches below the pipe to a minimum of 8 inches above the pipe. Granular bedding shall be enclosed by filter fabric lapped a minimum of 1 foot. 3.06 SLOPE ANCHORS: Slope anchors shall be minimum of 12 inches thick and shall extend a minimum of 2 feet from the exterior of the pipe on all sides. They shall be cast against undisturbed earth in the trench walls and bottom. In rock, the walls and anchors shall be keyed a minimum of 6 inches into undisturbed rock. Anchors shall be cast against pipe bells or a capped cross on bell-less pipe. Whenever there is more than 8 feet of vertical fall between manholes, anchors shall be placed at intervals not to exceed 8 feet of vertical fall. Technical Provisions 5200-03
3.07 CONCRETE ENCASEMENT: Concrete encasement shall extend a minimum of 6 inches beyond the outside wall of pipe; except the top level of encasement at drainage course crossings shall be as shown on the detail drawing. Encasement shall be reinforced with four No. 6 reinforcing bar for sizes up to and including 24 inches. Reinforcing for larger sizes shall equal 0.4 percent of the cross sectional area of the concrete. Reinforcing bar shall be placed with 3 inches of cover from the bottom and sides of the encasement. Laps shall be 16 bar diameters. 3.08 ALIGNMENT TESTING: To verify alignment and workmanship, installed pipe may be lamped or televised. Lamped sections shall have no elongation of the silhouette or evidence of debris or dirt in the pipe. Televised pipe shall be inspected for a smooth, structurally sound, straight main. Pipe may also be televised at the end of the warranty period. Unacceptable defects include displacement at joints, intrusion of foreign material, and cracked or distressed pipe. Pipe not passing alignment tests shall be repaired or replaced and retested. ATTACHMENTS END OF SECTION 5200 UG 5200-A TOE WALL FOR FLARED END SECTION Technical Provisions 5200-04
